THIS AND THAT

Thursday, September 03, 2009 Yesterday the pool was 95 degrees. I tried to do my thing but gave up after a half hour. It was too hot. I wanted to leave at 10/15 minutes. Chris is in town. He called Judy and asked if she wanted to have dinner at Macaroni Grill in Murray. She called me and asked if I wanted to join them (Judy, Chris & Sierra). We had a nice visit and I ate too much. I had the balsamic glazed pork chops. It was good but I think I would have preferred it sans (without) the glaze. This morning I went to the Temple. After the temple, I met Niki, Greg, Alexa, Gavin and Corey at Chuck-a-Rama for lunch and again had a good visit. It seems that every other time I go to Chuck-a-Rama I’m not impressed and the other half the time I like it. Today I liked it. Interesting. Niki took the kids to the zoo yesterday and Alexa got a gorilla mask. She calls it her monkey mask. She brought it to lunch today. She put it on and made funny noises, then she had me wear it and I did my “monkey” impression. We kept taking turns doing this for some time. We were a pair. Of monkeys that is. Gavin was cute. When I helped him out of the car I went to set him down. He made a jester and sounds letting me know he wanted his blue blanky. I grabbed it and set him down. The blanket was so long it dragged along the sidewalk behind him. He was barefoot. He kept walking on small pieces of gravel and winced but he wouldn’t let us carry him. At the table he grabbed a large chunk of watermelon, twice the size of his fist and shoved it in his face and in time managed to get it all down. That is except what was on the front of his orange shirt.
